Vennor, Henry G., F.G.S. Our Birds of Prey, or the Eagles, Hawks, and Owls of Canada
Montreal Dawson Bros. 1876 First Edition Decorative Cloth Good+ with no dust jacket Illustrated by Notman, Wm. (phot.)
Decorated green cloth, with a gilt owl on the front. The books looks "very good", but some splitting at the top of the spine, and the inner hinges are cracking, although the book is tight. Lacks plates 22 & 23, but with an extra plates #28 & 29. I understand this is common problem with this book (if we can use the term for such an uncommon book), as these were evidently assembled by hand, and mistakes were made. Plate 18 is placed as a frontis.; 8x10 1/2"
